AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Vyse is from Skies of Arcadia, a neat RPG about sky pirates.
Joe Musashi is a mo' fockin' ninja that was in a bunch of games called Shinobi in the arcade and on Sega Master System and Genesis. Shadow Dancer, The Revenge of Shinobi and Shinobi III are probably the most popular of the series.

On top of that, he appeared in almost every main Shinobi titles from the main character in the Genesis and Game Gear games to an extra character in the PS2 and 3DS games.

Speculations since the game's announcement have been extremely positive (if hopeful) about NiGHTS, Ristar and Vectorman appearing in the racer roster. I personally would like to see Rhys racing on Wren's transformable body, both from Phantasy Star III.

PS - By the way, new reveals will be made at E3 tomorrow.

Oh, i heard of those games.

I don't have a dreamcast though SOOOO.....

So hey apparently Sonic 4 Episode II came out???

Dunno when, just went on XBLA and it was out so hey.

Played the demo, seems actually pretty fun. They fixed a lot of the physics problems, although it still feels weird, at least it's not gamebreaking.
The way they handed Tails is pretty neat also. Press a button in the air, he grabs you and starts flying. Press it on the ground, you do some sort of double-spindash that once executed, seems to be the end requirement for the demo so I dunno what it does special.

Also, the graphics are 100% forever better.

I loved Sylvania Castles Background, the morning sky fit so well for a sonic game.

Also, dat boss.

A little late for the news, but this year's Summer of Sonic gave us NiGHTS and Reala along with their own track for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Which brings us to this broadly useful list so far:

Danica Patrick

I still can't understand why she's going to be in the game. As long as she's not shitty-looking and out of place, or constantly talks about how you should watch/buy Nascar products, it'll be fine. I don't really care much for Nascar. I don't like it in my Sanic the Herdghug games.

REVIVAL FOR NEW GAME! Post your opinions bitches!

huh

wonder if those are the villians

man what if we get a game where eggman just doesn't show up because turns out he's not actually doing anything

honestly i'd be completely okay with that

Bonus cutscene after the credits shows Eggman relaxing on the beach and drinking a cocktail

In the background is a giant Eggmanland because Sonic left earth for a good while on his newest adventure, and he's like "What a dumbass!".

Honestly iIm not entirely sure that the last eggmanland is gone
I mean in unleashed right, planet gets put back together
but eggmanland is still there, it didn't get destroyed or anything.

of course it looks like he just built it on a just an uninhabited space of land so maybe nobody cares

He built it over station square after the earth was cut up.

It all makes sense now.

this actually does seem to imply the area where eggmanland was built
and it's just a giant fucking desert


honestly i'm not sure why he dosen't just build it without causing a whole fuss because clearly there's a place for him to do it and nobody gives a shit if he actually does

Holy. Shit.

Sonic XTreme HD, anyone?
